Absence louder than presence
Pervasive pain
Ruining my egg sandwich
Tastes good with a red
A long held longing
For that forever gone
The dead and the dying
The fear and the flying
Who am I without them
My edges shaped by loss
The thick of night before dawn
The day which never comes
Surprising laugher
Guiltily smothered
A hushed embrace
The silence of those
Who don't want to get it wrong
Carrying a quiet void
Not quite hidden by eyeliner
That ever shifting sand
Oh I think I'm ok now
And then I am drowning.
